respondent ef tha Charlotte Ob

no knowledge, aaya aa follows:
"The Superintendent was not
Mfy with atf'tohsdpli of appor
tkmmenta and a meeting eras call
ed for next Monday for this p«I
pum.”
This statement does injustice
to the Superintendent in two
ways. Fin*, It implies a failure
to discharge an important date.
Beoocdly. it chargaa him with a
date that belongs to lh« County
Board of Ed a cation.
This Superintendent has never
haao bahtnd with his work, nar
has ha arar aakad for time, on hia
amount,' for the completion of
: nay haslnsss which was lsgiti
faatoiy required of him.
-hatha mid correspondent is
not con Tenant with school law, i
jmpeetfally cite him to "School
Law,” page 17, section 24, which
- hah — follows: "The County
Board ot Education shall oo th«
mooed Monday in January and I
the second Monday in July of!
each year, apportion tha school
fund of the county to tha various
townships in said county per
capita, Aa. Further on, H mys:
"It shall ha tha daty of thr Coon -
